Amiga Longplay Dungeon Master

[@Draevon68]

The original game that set me on a life of gaming. 1987-88, sophomore in college. I remember those images and sounds like it was yesterday.

[@bozkurtbozok4597]

For me Dungeon Master will be always the most amazing game ever created! Love love love it

[@peterveer7798]

Its looks very old game

[@peterveer7798]

Its look like Shiver game windows 95

[@mikellyvr]

Amen to this!

[@fredrikwannmyr5942]

i played with amiga 500 1mb ram yr 1988. It will also work with win xp laptop

[@bozkurtbozok4597]

Fredrik Wannmyr haha my friend also played at amiga then pc fury started to happen I think it was called dx 400 God can’t remember the model of pc right now but after amiga felt like super fast. Played dungeon master long long time. I was so scared of playing and getting jumped of every corner by mobs I stayed at room where tree shriekers keep spawning and leveled there months. Well, leveled to a point most characters were maxed out and had like 750-850 hp range each characters and I was walking through fireballs without worrying about dying lol. I had some friends coming and keep seeing me at same room leveling up and they thought game was all that room and were saying what a boring game same place always lol...

[@Chordonblue]

Two things my friend and I discovered way back when: 1. Use the see-through spell on the Level 1 Door to the outside, and you'll see Chao's twin (Order) standing in an ominously dark night outside. 2. Bring the fully formed staff back to the Level 1 Door, and you'll confront Lord Order... Well... 'Confront' might not be the best word for it. Such amazing attention to detail, and even more so, that the developers even considered the possibility of someone heading all the way back up to do these very things. Amazing!

[@ugraugra]

Actually that was the original quest - to bring the staff back to Lord Order. But when you do it, it ends badly (alternate ending). It was the twist of the game - you should have realized that you should seek balance (it was written on one of the scrolls), so you go on, complete the staff and use it to fuse Chaos & Order into one - Grey Lord who represents balance.

[@orenges]

This game was way ahead of its time, and too underrated

[@darkgay4273]

I remember my step mom playing and letting me watch. She was VERY dedicated and even mapped out all the floor plans, including the secret passages. I looovvveeddd watching her. It was amazing, and inspired me to start drawing some of my own monstrous creations!! ❤❤

[@Tenraiden]

How nice, a gamer mom 🥰

[@hjk1603]

Oh, what a nostalgic game. In this game, the development of the characters is done the best. It develops what you do. I've been playing this for hours and hours

[@realkodak]

"Dungeon master"of my childhood, it was amazing, like ♂️Dungeon Master ♂️nowadays

[@AngelusNZ]

Thanks for a fantastic trip down memory lane. I loved this game growing up. Played it numerous times. But I am amazed at your capability to play it straight through, without saving, and with no deaths. You can definitely claim the title of Dungeon Master. Even though I have not played this for nearly 15-20 years I still remember a lot of the maze paths and puzzle sequences and was mentally following the paths of your party as if i was playing it myself. Thanks once again.

[@maxschmidt666]

Thank you for uploading this. Played it as a child and didn´t even know how to do magic spells. I remember I got into a room with many, many doors and stopped playing there. So I (of course) never beat it by any means, but after watching this, I somehow feel like an uncompleted part of my childhood is finally finished. Yeah sounds weird I know lol.

[@enzoscifo]

Great game. Played it on my Atari ST in the beginning of the 90s. Last year I was on 2 months long tour with a band, and I played this game on my laptop using the Atari ST emulator. What a great game. With the risk of sounding old I wanna say that games used to be more difficult and more rewarding as well. Thanx for the upload and long live Dungeon Master.

[@ciscornBIG]

What did you do for mapping?

[@enzoscifo]

@@ciscornBIG I just had the maps open in another window and looking at it from time to time.

[@Tubular4321]

Wow. Best game ever. I wasted a couple years of my life playing this game. It was annoying to have to eat and sleep and go to school.

[@tarron3237]

It's not wasted, mate 😉 Treasure those memories

[@CorporateZombi]

I love how the monsters make morale checks and if they are loosing, they run away! Something forgotten from most modern games!

[@orenges]

this game is extremely ahead of its time!

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

Like in 2nd edition D&D.

[@spearPYN]

@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 thats the best AD&D edition also.

[@PrinzMegahertz]

My father played this while me mother drew maps of the dungeons. Good times!

[@senaoutofspace]

Fun for whole family

[@melomaniakjm]

Best parents ever.

[@emmaphilo4049]

Ooohhh sounds good :)

When your wife is your co-pilot in everything.

[@m.a.packer5450]

We did that with zelda 1 back in the 80s. It was fun, like you were actually on an adventure, keeping your own journals and recording maps

[@philkitty5945]

Classic and epic Game! I spent hours mapping this whole game on grid paper, back in the day. I even played it all the way through with one character. :)

[@Mr_Game_And_Walk]

So that's how it ends, eh? Been wondering for 25+ years.

[@Alexon88]

Matthew Wilcken Haha I also never got very far in this game (starved?) but I was very very young...

[@kt47793]

Same here lol I've played it like a gazillion times but I never could finish it probably because my brother always saved over my games before I had the chance bloody brothers

[@greypilgrim2028]

Me too!

[@bramtheblackpoolfan6922]

Hahaha me too, played this as a young boy and although I really enjoyed it, I was never able to complete it

[@billhenry7213]

There is a much easier way to defeat him. There is a small room in the North east corner of the dragon dungeon. He will easily follow you in, and you can quickly fill the room with Flux Cages to trap him.

[@rhorschack]

A classic among the classics !

[@porterotondo1373]

Wow i had this game when i was a boy i couldn't for the life of me even figure out how to even play it and have wondered for years what it even was about. I had the snes version but it didnt have the sticker on it anymore making it even more mysterious to me good to finally see it played out thanks 👌

[@ChrisR-ne4kn]

This was the game that convinced me to get an Amiga. I worked at long-gone Babbages and my manager, an Amigaphile, put up Amiga loops on the monitors facing the mall. Dungeon Master would always draw a crowd.

[@williamtopping]

I've played thousands of games, and only completed tens of them. This one was one of them.

[@Mighty366]

I played this game with a friend a very long time ago on his Atari ST computer...We were so bad! We did'nt know about RPG's and dungeon crawling at that time... I miss the days when we were talking to others to know what to do next instead of watching over the internet... I know, i'm old hahaha!!!

[@etatti]

+Mighty366 You nailed it. Today it is all about checking on the internet, nobody asks anybody about tips and tricks anymore. I used to play this game with my cousins. We were taking turns, one of us would control the party and the others would map the way and note down spells. It was like being a real D&D party! CLASS!

[@Epicoftales]

+Enrico Tatti Exactly how me and a friend played. And it was soooo addicting.

[@stunthumb]

+Enrico Tatti You would have loved Hired Guns, probably Bloodwych as well. A little later than DM, myself and a few friends had ST's and we were all addicted to Captive, we raced to complete it one summer, damn good fun. I still play it to this day.

[@Chordonblue]

+Mighty366 And another thing we didn't have back then: Cheat books that were released on Day One of the release. God, that pisses me off! No, I don't care if they do it, technically, anyone can do what they want as long as it isn't hurting me, but in DM and games like it back then, you wanted to feel as though YOU DISCOVERED something! I was there with my friend when we discovered Lord Order standing at the Level 1 front door and tried to make him open it. I'm not sure how many others tried it, but back then, you wouldn't be. I'm old enough to remember my friend 'discovering' the hidden 'dot' and message room in the Atari 2600 'Adventure' game. He thought he was the only one who had found it. Well he was... In his neighborhood - and boy weren't the rest of us kids impressed! :D A few years later, I found an easter egg in 'Fathom' for the 2600 and many years later, I found out that NO ONE else had found it yet. Even the developer (Rob Fullop) had forgotten it was there! :) That's what's truly missing in today's games - the fun and surprise of discovery. These days, when a game is released, there's nothing new to find to impress anyone with, nothing that hasn't already been written about on game review sites and the books. Sad...

[@Mighty366]

+Chuck Hunnefield And i miss the kind of discussion we had about if World -1 in Super Mario bros. really existed or if it was some kind of legend. If it was a bug (i don't think the term "glitch" existed at that time) or a real hidden world. You know what i really miss too? Playing!!! Today is all about reading the story. I'm sick and tired of all these neverending speeches. I want to play!!!

Absolutely love this game, watching this brings back so many happy memory's;))). I never used to leave food, I used to feed and water my team every chance I got, and then refill. Dragon steaks are the best:). Great video.

[@RobbWilliams11]

Back 3 years later to watch this again 🤣

the torch going dim, the sound of approaching steps...

[@KreatorOfDeath1985]

I had this game for my Snes it scares the hell out of me still. It make sme feel claustrophobic and its just creepy.

this was quite possibly my favourite Amiga game ever. I also enjoyed Chaos Strikes back although that was harder to map.

Ah, the nostalgia. I remember playing this on my dad's Amiga as a kid.

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

I was probably 12 when i sat next to my Dad, watching him play this for hours on end. I don’t remember much of it, however those are fond memories of time spent ‘with’ him.

[@khashoggiship]

I love this game. Such fond memories.

[@Rakiarmas]

Poor Wuuf. His parents had bad sense of humour. XD Neat looking game. I have just recently got into dungeon crawlers & experienced why they are old gems of gaming. This is a series that need to come back. Thanks for playing this game. I had lot's of fun watching it.

[@davidstair9657]

Finally got to see the end of this. Only took 40 years.

[@amcardino21]

I've loved this game since the 80s!!! ❤️❤️

[@JonasLindholmer]

Man, me and My friend would go home and play this after school. The logo appearing in the beginning Always surprised us ;) My Amiga version has a serious bug - I couldnt save the game! So restarting every Day, drawing Maps and finally giving Up by the Purple Worms.

[@Epicoftales]

Very cool, memories ... the first game i bought, and instant value.

[@johnpasir3207]

best game ever... countless hours spent on this in my youth

[@CallM3YourCat]

Wow i was playing that game in maybe 1998, 1999 when i was a kid. I was so scared :d

[@zeriul09]

30+ years and never saw the end of this and that's all it is, well i guess it isnt too bad for such an old game

[@VirtualLunacy]

Played this game forever back in the day.

[@SirAndacar]

Ah, how well I remember wasting hours of my life on this game back in the late 80s. The sound effect for The Horn of Fear still has to be the funniest.

[@Dusty_Inkwell]

I'm getting so god damn nostalgic. Such a good game. One of my good childhood memories... xD

An absolute monster of a game this was, totally just gobbled up so much time of my youth, so impressed with this game which i believe the original Doom was sort of based on, especially a similar eerie atmosphere.

[@2K8Si]

And keep in mind that this game used less than 1MB to create this experience. With only 16 carefully selected colors, and sampled sound effects on the Amigs, this game offered ENDLESS hours of gamepaly. Of which to this day, I've never played any other game as much as this one.

[@kevinbriannovis4031]

2018 loved this game and completed it with the help of my friend! Now blessed to play/simulate on Eve.

[@adamgroszkiewicz814]

This was THE game of my childhood. Nothing even came close.

[@davidr1431]

This takes me back. I played this on a friend's Atari ST and walked for 40 minutes each way to get to his house. The first example of kiting mobs that I can remember. I also remember playing it through with only a single party member, not four. Is that my mind playing tricks on me?

[@turnert235]

I had to watch my brother play. I was too scared.

[@srpskisica]

aaaah the good ol days huh? :)

[@alexbjarnesen8905]

Same for me! Enjoyed watching it, but was too scared to play it myself

[@kt47793]

Omg I'm an 80s child this game was my world I LOVED this game I use to play it on the comador 64 God I'm old lol

[@shadowsayer1516]

Did you mean the Amiga? It was never released for the Commodore 64.

[@kmc2090]

Best game on a computer I've ever played. In fact I'm playing it again on a emulator. At the time of it's release it triggered the sales of Atari St and Amiga to rocket. The game then led to games like Eye of the Beholder and eventually to Doom and in turn all the first player shooters and games nowadays. I'd argue this game was the beginning of all immersive games and even VR. At the time or shortly after, myself and my mate, said imagine if you could wear a powerglove and some sort of glasses and be on on a tread mill you could run around and play dungeon master. At the time we thought it would only be 5 years before that would be possible. Of course we are there now but it took 30 years so we were a bit out on our expectations.

[@Umeavisby1]

I always played Atarai St's version of Dungeon Master.I see some differences. That the characters can drink directly from the fountain, for example.The animation is a tad more rapide.Que some sound effects are also different.

[@gaijinkamiyui]

This really takes me back. Used to stay up all night playing this

[@MetalChick84]

Ahhh those memories are flooding back!!!

[@Monsieur_le_Comte]

For the boss fight, you don't have to chase Lord Chaos with your horn for hours, just surround him with flux cages (which act as barriers) and then use the Fuse command. Great game, one of my favourites ever.

[@MikeStarKaraokeUK]

Use to play this on a Atari St and this still is a hairy game. The blue club guys are like a Halloween outfit. And them green mushroom things.

[@cowboycowboy9592]

It took 5 friends of mine to figure the game strategy out. Difficult not impossible. Loved how some monsters would run.. lol

[@Adrena1in]

Ah, that brought back memories. Still remember jumping out my seat at times when a monster would attack, literally learning the spells because I didn't have a manual with the rune names in it, (this was pre-internet of course), carefully mapping out the entire game and getting some of those maps published in an Amiga magazine... so many hidden and secret areas. Did you ever get all four "Boots of Speed"? Did you discover the alternate ending by taking the Firestaff all the way back up to the dungeon entrance? I'm so gonna have to play this again on my emulator.

[@The_Wave]

Didn’t in game scrolls have the spell runes in them?

[@Adrena1in]

@@The_Wave - I think they only had the names rather than the runes. Might be mistaken though.

I put so many hours into this when I was a kid. I think there was a glitch in my copy of the game that would not allow me to complete it. My memory is fuzzy at this point, but I remember there being some sort of fire spell that just would not work. I even called the software company and they agreed to send me another copy, but I never bothered with it again.

Wasn't there a room where Shriekers respawned and you could just farm them for food and xp? If you had the time, which apparently I did when I was 15.

[@nickinnorfolk]

I could never work out how to trap and defeat the final boss, spent several months attempting and re running this game in the 90s. Good game, bit grindy in the middle but I still think of this is being the epitome of dungeon crawler. Legend of Grimrock is essentially an uprated version of this though Ive never had the time to complete it.

[@krashd]

I never owned any of the Eye of the Beholder, Bard's Tale style games when I was a youngling with a Spectrum or Amiga but I did play the bejesus out of a game called The Black Crypt which was very similar and it broke my heart to find out that it was only ever released on Amiga :/ It was lost forever until I discovered emulation :)

Never got to play it back in the day (c-64 into 486 pc) but watched my babysitter's husband play it a lot when I was a kid on the ST. Did get me big into the Eye of the Beholder trilogy though (think Dungeons and Dragons-flavored Dungeon Master).
